1998: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will Smith, and actress, Jada Pinkett, tied the knot in 1997 and have been together for 2 decades. Though their marriage wasn’t exactly the happily-ever-after type that many are thinking, the two remained strong through it all. The first time they met was on the set of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, where Pinkett auditioned to be the girlfriend of Will Smith’s character. By 1995, the two began dating, which led to them walking down the aisle. Pinkett didn’t want to get married but because she was pregnant with their first child and there was pressure from both sides of their families, they eventually wed.

The couple separated at one point but got back together. It seems they were meant for each other because they refer to each other as life partners rather than husband and wife. Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith have two children, Willow and Jaden, both of whom have become quite active in the entertainment industry. Both have appeared in films with their dad, and are pursuing their own singing careers. For sure, they will not need to apply for a personal loan any time soon.
